Hi,
I just installed kies today and got a message that my tab (p7510) has not an official firware and cannot be updated. I bought the tab in canada and live in germany.
Afterwards I used odin to flash xwkg7 (only pda, not bootloader).
Since then Kies does not show the current firmware anymore. The field is blank.
Any ideas how I can fix this?

I have the same problem.
I found the solution by myself.
I just flashed with odin "PDA". This caused that /system is overwritten, which is good. However, I did not install "CSC" which is usually also copied to /system. As a matter of fact, I didn´t have the csc stuff and this caused Kies to freak out.
Solution:
Use odin to flash PDA *and* CSC at the same time!
Never ever flash PDA alone, because then your csc files are gone.
Hope this will help someone
However, now Kies tells me that I do not have an official firmware version on my tab and thus no updates through Kies are supported. Damn... Ideas?
Hello Klaus,
This I had already tried again and got the message as you've described. Who can help us.

I just received my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 today and am using it as I charge it. I dialed *#1234# to see that I have the following firmware:
PDA: I9000XXJF3
Phone: I9000XXJF3
CSC: I9000OXAJF3
Can someone please tell me which firmware I should be upgrading to so that I have the most recent and least laggy firmware.
Cheers
What does Kies offer you with firmware update?
Kies does not let me do an update, possibly because of my region, I'm unsure. I live in New Zealand
JM1 official seems like a good one to go for, you may with some tweaking be able to get Kies to update. See this thread > http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7807299#post7807299
So i used the ctrl+alt+u+p trick and it attempted to upgrade to JM1 but was unable to and gave me the error failed to convert to upgrade mode. do I need to boot my phone into some sort of upgrade mode or something?
I've been trying for 2 days to update to JM1, as kies said the firmware update was available for my phone.
I finally solved the "failed to convert to update mode" problem.
Basically, from what I spotted after installing and uninstalling kies a few times is that all the drivers for the phone install (modem, mass storage etc), except "usb composite device" maybe they forgot to bundle that specific drive in with kies?
Go here, download these drivers and install them. It will say they're already installed, but go ahead and install over the top.

Hi all,
I royally messed up my Galaxy Tab trying to install a framework-res.apk without reading the threads properly. Now I have a Tab which just reboots itself continuously at the Samsung screen after buzzing three times in quick succession.
Is it possible, seeing as I can still go into download mode, to reflash the tab using this guide and send the tab back to stock/brand new?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=848422
The only problem is that I have no idea what the latest firmware for the UK Galaxy Tab would be that came over Kies. Can anyone help me with this? I basically need to know what the latest official "Kies-loaded" firmware is and to download it, then use the guide above to reflash my tab so it's back to standard.
TIA

JJ7 is the latest update through Kies I think for the UK, although JJ3 seems to be what most Tabs were supplied with in the UK.
If your Tab was purchased in Carphone Warehouse then it's latest official firmware will be JJ7, if you purchased it from Tesco or Phones 4u etc then it will be JJ3. As long as you haven't tried flashing any of the JM series ROMs you will be fine to flash either JJ3 or JJ7 onto your Tab with Odin or Hemidal.
Thanks for both of your inputs, I have downloaded and flashed JJ7, but for some reason when I do a *#1234#*, under versions I have nothing under PDA, under Phone it says P1000XXJK5 qand under CSC it's blank. I could have sworn that before my screw up, all three of these values had something in them. Any help?

Did you go into recovery after flashing and let it finish doing it's thing?
Turn your tab off, then hold down power+volume up, wait until it's finished updating the CSC and everything and then reboot.
If that doesn't work, then flash a different CSC and repeat the steps above.
You'll get the PDA and CSC entries as blank if either you didn't flash the CSC or you didn't go into the Recovery console immediately after the flash to allow the CSC to install.
Hi all,
Thanks again for all your help everyone. I followed all your advice and thanks to you guys I've managed to save my tab.
Thanks again
hi, i followed the guide in the dev section and debranded my phone from 3 u.k but when i plug into kies it still show 3 fw and says cannot update even though i changed the csc aswell. is there anyway to get kies to recognise it properly as i didnt really want to keep manually having to flash the lastest fw thats why i de-branded so kies would do it auto!
edit found the solution after 1 hr searching....... odin update only
Spoof fw might help .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
Kies updates branded firmware with the correct product codes that match whats on the server not stock rom thats what i have always posted long long time .
Though some claim to have updated stock via Kies but if that was the norm we would not have the multitude of same posts and kies reg spoofing would not have been developed likewise Spoof FW
About forty personal tries with stock rom on SGS1 and 2 for me have always failed . Put back original rom always worked .

I have the same problem but I have fix it now, I just boot in recovery mode and wipe alle partition data, wipe alle date and factory , after that boot up in download mode and reflash in odin... and dont forget to delete kies in pc and delete samsung folders and usb driver before reinstall kies this work for me and kies reconize my phone and FW version now.
You did do a factory reset after changing to XEU csc didn't you?
I had no problems when I debranded my O2 handset a week ago - it's been recognised as a generic XEU handset ever since and I updated to KE7 via Kies.
Kies does not recognize the AT&T update on my AT&T I337. It says current firmware not supported. Here is a screen shoot of the Kies software.
I was surprised to see that. The update seems fine, and I moved a bunch of folders to my SD card. Love it.

I do not know what BTU means, but I will try the factory reset today 7/14/2013. I did a Kies backup yesterday in preparation for the factory reset.

Got the same problem and i fixed it.
I flashed in the past a BTU over a Branded firmware and i forgot to do a factory reset. Disconnect the phone from the pc and reboot your pc (if you just put out the cable and reconnect kies still shows the error. When i did that Kies reconized my device as BTU and now it says my firmware is the latest version.
I am not sure if you installed a BTU over a Branded firmware but this is the way to fix it.
I have a Note4 that had Android version 4.4.4. I wanted to upgrade to 6.0.1 but the Odin failed at the last step (hidden.img I believe). Now, on reboot it goes to Firmware has encountered an error. Use Kies. I tried Kies but it says that SM-N910F is not supported for initialising.
Next, searching online, I found a PIT file and used that. No luck. Same issue. I guess, I screwed up now since original partition is probably lost. Question however is - can I recover in any way? Kies and Smart Switch both fail to recognize device.
Ths SSN is N910FGSMH. It is UK model I believe but I don't know which operator. What are my options at experimenting and recovering? I had tried N910FXXU1DQHC_N910FEVR1DQH1_EVR and then EVR-N910FXXS1DQG5-20170731165019 ODIN files.
Hi, agaurav
Did you get to a solution?
Thanks
I did but I don't remember the solution at all. I am not good at these things so don't know which website and what instructions helped me get this working more than a year back.
Sorry, can't help now.
